No sweat. Many of us were in class and gotten the thanks, but no thanks email. Glad to hear things haven't changed. Expect a class date soon! Cheers..

 

This. Pilots have such a battered wife syndrome.

 

I didn't believe it until I saw it with my own eyes.

 

What is in the online assessment? Anything to lookover before opening it?

 

This thread would be a good start.

 

So they assessment is going to be on how many people seem to hate Allegiant? Because that is what most of this thread has turned into. That will really narrow things down for me.

 

Maybe you should give them an assessment to take during your interview.

 

Watch much news? Hitch your wagon if you like. Just do your homework. Super senior guys within the top 5% are bailing to start all over somewhere else. That's not just talk. Think about that for a moment. Why would they do that? If senior guys are voting with their feet, try and picture a junior guy's perspective. Imagine yourself bypassing years of seniority with great companies THAT ARE HIRING while risking your career working for a travel company that doesn't care about its customers, reputation or employees. He11, don't read the web boards, a search will confirm what those guys are saying.

This was just today. They happen every day. This is mild compared to many others.

Best of luck.

 

you're absolutely right, this thread is a whole lot of about 15-20 guys just repeating themselves for months on end. The company has its issues, we all know that, we all know that Allegiant is basically the worst company of any flying anything larger than a regional jet. That said, there's plenty of far worse places to be out there, and we should try to help the people that want to move on to something that may be better for them... Get them on property and then enlist them to join our fight for a good contract. So, moving on...

The online assessment is something fairly new, they didn't have it when I interviewed back in July. Read about 2 pages back on this forum though and it looks ike there's a few guys who just took it, whom I'm sure would help you out via a PM... try b190av8r and ilsbird... I'd think they'd give you the lowdown on it...

Once you get beyond that, feel free to call/text me with any further questions... (I'm just a regular line pilot so there's only so much I'll be able to answer).

Good luck!

Fair statement. G4 works for some, but not for others. It depends on expectations, personal circumstances, priorities and tolerance. The key is to gather as much info as possible to make an educated decision. This isn't 2006, pilots have choices. I fly with guys every day from both camps. Many get here and are quickly disillusioned (shocked) because they failed to do their research. Others are willing to put up with the company's jaw-dropping ineptness for the eventual hope of being home every night. For those that come for the right reasons, G4 can be an ok fit. My advise to anyone seeking employment here, or anywhere, is to tread carefully. Get as much input and info, from ALL sources, as you can. Then decide, at least you won't be surprised.
